OpenOffice.org Redesigns Website, Launches Version 2.4

As we pointed out yesterday in our Daily Downloads the new version of OpenOffice.org 2.4 has been released, and here's an overview of the new features. In my opinion that is not the most exciting news though. To go along with the new release they've also revamped their website, and I have to say that they did an incredible job with it.

This is hot on the heals of Opera's announcement yesterday that they currently have an internal build of their own browser that is successfully passing the test.

Web-Based Photoshop Express Launches

As expected, Adobe has officially entered the World of online applications. Adobe is known best for their desktop software like their photo editing solutions (Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Elements, etc.), and so it makes sense that their first web-based application is a basic version of Photoshop called Photoshop Express.

CyberNotes: Add/Remove Programs in the "Open With" Menu

In Windows when you right-click on a file there will likely be an "Open With" menu that lists the various applications that can be used to open that specific file. I use it all of the time because there's never really just one application that I want to open a file.
